Cartel 36
Main dishes
Açorean Rib Chop
This isn't just a chunk of meat... it's THE chunk of meat. 650g of pure Azorean joy, smoked slowly, grilled with gusto, and seasoned with the legendary blue salt created by our Cartel chef – yes, the master of seasoning and culinary crime himself. This salt isn't blue by chance — it's magic in crystals, handmade with secrets that only the Cartel knows (and that we're not telling!). Perfect crust, spot-on smoke, flavor that packs a punch. Eat this and you'll want to confess all your sins... with your mouth full.
39,50 €Slow-cooked veal cheek in red wine.
So tender it melts before it reaches your fork. This veal cheek is cooked slowly, with time, care and respect—as the old school (and our Cartel chef) dictates. Each piece comes with a deep flavor, soft texture and a thick sauce that brings silence to the table. This is not meat… it's stewed poetry.
18,90 €Azorean Veal Tartare
Raw? Yes. But with more attitude than many hot dishes. Our Azorean veal is minced to order, seasoned with surgical precision, and served with everything it needs to shine. Fresh, tender, and full of personality, this starter (or meal for the fearless) shows that raw meat can also be pure art. Made with veal of controlled origin, hand-cut by the Cartel's chef – who doesn't mess around when it comes to flavor. Simple, direct… and dangerously addictive.
19,00 €Maminha Maturada Australiana
The meat that worked overtime in maturation to give you maximum flavor. Our Australian rump cap comes from afar, but the care is local: perfectly cut, grilled to a golden and succulent crust, ready to win over any meat fan. The Cartel's chef guarantees that each slice has the right balance between tenderness and intensity.
14,90 €Javali de Caça
Wild in name, exquisite on the plate. Our wild boar didn't come from the supermarket—it came from nature, and it brings the flavor with it. Cooked with technique and the Cartel chef's secret seasoning, this dish is robust, succulent, and with that rustic touch that reminds you that you are eating something special. It's meat with history, courage, and a direct passport to the tastiest side of the jungle.
18,90 €Lagartinhos de Porco Preto com massa caseira de pimentão vermelho
Small in name, but gigantic in flavor. Our Black Pork 'Lagartinhos' are thin, tender, and full of attitude. Grilled with mastery by the Cartel's chef—who knows each grill like the back of his hand—and seasoned with that special touch that only he knows how to give (yes, the same one who invented the blue salt!). Black pork as it should be: succulent, slightly smoked, and with a flavor that makes you want to applaud with your fork.
13,90 €Magret de Pato com molho de laranja
A French classic with a Cartel twist—succulent, intense, and with that orange sauce that dances in your mouth. The magret is grilled to perfection, maintaining the crispy skin and pink meat, while the citrus sauce balances the intensity. It's the kind of dish that turns dinner into a celebration.
18,50 €Peito de Frango
Simple, but far from basic. Our chicken breast is grilled to perfection, succulent on the inside and with those grill marks that are pure charcoal-kissed love. A comforting and healthy option, with a touch of Cartel chef.
10,90 €Salmão curado pela Casa
Cured to perfection, with the Cartel's secret. Our cured salmon is prepared with a handcrafted blend of salt, sugar, and spices, giving it a unique texture and flavor. Served fresh, it's the starter that promises to begin any meal with style and freshness.
15,90 €Confit Duck leg
17,50 €Smoked grilled sea bream
Smoked just enough to enhance the natural flavor of the sea. Our smoked sea bream brings the freshness of the Atlantic with a delicate touch of smoke that transforms every bite into a memorable experience. Delicate meat, perfect texture, and an aroma that wins you over from the first bite.
